Today we celebrate Linda Nichols' retirement! We thank her for the many years she has helped serve our local families, businesses and the Ravenna community. Have fun in retirement, Linda, and don't be a stranger!

It's #GoLocalWednesday! Where are you going to support your local businesses today? Let us know! We visited Gala Gourmet Kitchen Shoppe & Catering this week and got to enjoy a delicious bacon, cranberry and chocolate cookie!

Our CEDAM: The Community Economic Development Association of Michigan "Show Me the Money" Day winner, Lisa, was so excited to get her gift basket! Thank you for visiting our booth and we can't wait to attend "Show Me the Money" next year!

We had such a nice visit from Dean, Wolverine World Wide Family YMCA Executive Director, and Laurel, WWWF YMCA Board Member! Thanks to the generous gifts at the Annual Auction, over $120,000 was raised for community services and programs. Visit www.grymca.org for more information.

Please join us in welcoming Tina to our team as the Grant Branch Manager! Tina has been with ChoiceOne since 2013. We will have refreshments on Friday at the Grant Office from 1 to 4pm! http://ow.ly/i/8BF3x

Inspiring leadership speech today at Rotary by local business owner and Sparta Girls' Basketball coach, Matt McCallum from Great American Media Services! "Dream big", "embrace technology" and "laugh everyday" were just a few of the pieces of wisdom taken away. Thanks Matt!

We really enjoyed being a part of the annual CEDAM: The Community Economic Development Association of Michigan "Show Me The Money" Day in Muskegon and Grand Rapids. Helping our communities with their banking needs is what we are all about!
